18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up twice over hurdles in recent weeks, latterly in refitted cheekpieces at Worcester (2m7f, good), but was well beaten in both chases last year and needs to prove he can transfer his recent good form to fences. |

On a losing run but he got back on track with second of eight in 2m7f handicap at Bangor five days ago; now needs to back it up. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles in Ireland but he finished third of 20 in a Cork handicap (2m, yielding) in April on his final run; left Shark Hanlon for 24,000euros since; now tries a new trip after a break but he needs a close look on his first run Dan Skelton. |
6/4 |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Maiden's best run in four handicap starts was when third of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding) at Christmas; twice well held on more testing ground since; might go okay on likely better surface here. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Fair maiden hurdler; failed to kick on sent handicapping when only fifth of seven at Uttoxeter (2m7f) in May; remains with few miles on the clock, though, so not written off. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Lightly raced 7yo who wasn't discredited when third of seven in 2m novice here two weeks ago; goes handicapping now with this return to further a plus; not out of things. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

In a new visor when showing more in a C&D maiden 16 days ago and that gives him some momentum ahead of this handicap debut. |

3rd 3 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Has shown little in his two runs over hurdles; wears first-time visor and steps up in trip; easy to dismiss. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when making the frame at Warwick twice this season (3m1f/3m2f, good) but his finishing was disappointing in those races and he's patently not as good as he was; others preferred. |
8/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ended string of heavy defeats when third in first-time cheekpieces here (3m1f, good; handes soft) last month but didn't find much in the closing stages, and it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance. |

Three wins on good ground at about 3m; good run at Southwell last time as the winner got first run; went up 3lb but he's in the mix. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Won twice last year on good ground (once over C&D) and is entitled to have benefited from last month's reappearance run but may find others in this field better handicapped. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Son of Soldier Of Fortune who was fitted with cheekpieces but failed to build on earlier promise when sixth of seven on handicap debut over C&D 22 days ago; he's in good hands though and might be worth another chance. |
12/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Unable to land a telling blow in three maiden/novice hurdles since his respectable bumper debut here last April but wasn't beaten all that far at Ludlow (2m, soft) three weeks ago; upped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut; one of two unexposed runners from the stable in this race. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Opened British account under strong ride over C&D (good) in May and has obvious claims if judged on that performance but already looked beaten when badly hampered at third-last hurdle at Market Rasen last month and needs to bounce back. |
10/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
First success since his French debut when winning going away at Worcester last month (2m4f, good), albeit needing getting after on the way round; new 6lb higher mark is some way in excess of any RPR ever run to. |

10st 10lb |
Gained all four hurdle wins on good ground during purple patch in spring 2025 (2m4f-3m; wore cheekpieces); out of form during the winter and again well beaten this month, after a break; revival needed. |
50/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Tried chasing last autumn and did not show much back over hurdles in the winter on last two outings; 4-20 overall as a hurdler, with all four wins in March-May 2025, but there have to be questions at the moment. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Landed her third point in May; finished a modest second on her chase/stable debut here (2m3f, good to firm) 13 days ago; runs without hood worn on last four starts; has more on her plate here. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Triple point winner who scored in that sphere on her penultimate run; now switches to regulation fences but she's 0-12 over hurdles and this looks tough from out of the weights. |
25/1 |
Betting Forcast
10/1 Roxboro River, 6/4 Back To Cali, 8/1 Catuaba, 20/1 Barry Fife, 12/1 Lunar Morning, 8/1 Spitalfield, 12/1 Indian Sunbird, 25/1 Swingforthefence, 11/2 Mancero, 14/1 Luminaries, 12/1 Alderley Charlie, 20/1 Citizen Jane
Verdict
Mancero is of obvious interest reunited with Sean Bowen, but he has to prove he stays this far. Indian Sunbird (second choice) would be a threat if the race pans out favourably, but BACK TO CALI was narrowly denied a first win for his new stable at Stratford last month and, despite a 4lb rise and slight step up in trip, he looks capable of going one better. The returning Catuaba and Lunar Morning are two others to consider. [Tim Mitchell]
